The NEW YORK Tribune says: THE
democratic party would deserve more credit
for honesty than it now deserves, If it would
have the manhood for once TO meet the
tariff question squarely." The democratic
party would not only deserve more credit
for honesty OF purpose than it now deserves
if it would meet the tariff que stion squarely,
but its actual force in numbers would be
greatly Increased The poor people, who
constitute the vast majority of the voters of
the country, are waking up TO the fact that
the tariff is for the benefit of the rich; and
a little more correct information on the sub
iect, which they would receive If the cues
ton were discussed on the stump, is all that
is requisite to make them. no matter to
which party they now belong, united in
favor Of tariff reduction and reform.

A Norwich, Conn. man, who had stocked
his pond with rare and handsome breed
of ducks, found that they were slowly dis.
appearing. but where they went he could
not determine. One day visitor, sitting
on the piazza, said: You've got queer
ducks I've seen two of them dive, but
they haven't come up yet" This was g
suggestion to be acted upon. The owner
drew off the water from the pond, and found
seventeen swapping turtles. He killed them,
and now the ducks do not disappear, or at
least when they dive they come up again.
